Many of the questions in Section 2 of the 1999 CSPE Examination asked students
to suggest actions which they could take in response to the issue under discussion.
For example, suggest two actions thatcould be taken to promote and support the
rights of people with disabilities. Students should note here that, in each
case, they were expected to suggest an action that was capable of being carried
out. There were four marks for the first action and two for the second. Marks
were allocated depending on whether the action was unrealistic (0 marks), had
some possibility of achievement (1 to 2 marks), or was achievable (3 to 4 marks).

A list of suggested actions which students might like to consider as appropriate
for this type of question in Section 2 is listed below. Please note that if
you repeat an action then you must expand on it to show how it is different
from the first mention of it. Repetition without expansion receives zero marks.
Be warned!
